Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of DLP resin printers, in particular to a DLP molding platform capable of rapid demoulding. Background Art

[0002] In the field of additive manufacturing or 3D printing, DLP (digital light processing) is a commonly used printing technology. During the DLP printing process, liquid photosensitive resin is spread on the printing platform, and then the shape is projected onto the photosensitive resin through a digital projector to solidify it. This process is repeated layer by layer until a complete 3D object is printed. However, removing the completed object from the printing platform, i.e. demolding, is a time-consuming process that may damage the printed object. The demolding method currently on the market basically adopts the method of removing the molding platform and then using a scraper to scrape the workpiece off. In the process, the scraper has caused the workpiece to be damaged by the scraper. At the same time, the scraper is also prone to scratching the molding platform when scraping the workpiece, causing irreversible damage to the equipment. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a DLP molding platform that can be demolded automatically or quickly. Utility Model Content

[0017] Here, exemplary embodiments will be described in detail, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with one or more embodiments of the utility model. Instead, they are only examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of one or more embodiments of the utility model.

[0018] It should be noted that: in other embodiments, the steps of the corresponding method are not necessarily performed in the order shown and described in the utility model. In some other embodiments, the steps included in the method may be more or less than those described in the utility model. In addition, a single step described in the utility model may be decomposed into multiple steps for description in other embodiments; and multiple steps described in the utility model may be combined into a single step for description in other embodiments.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a DLP molding platform capable of rapid demoulding is characterized in that it comprises: a fixed frame 1, a Z-axis module 2, a motor 3, a push rod 4, a guide column 5, a guide sleeve 6, a spring 7, a molding platform frame 8, a molding platform 9 and an ejector plate 10; the Z-axis module 2 is mounted on the fixed frame 1, the motor 3 is connected to the Z-axis module 2 as a driving force for the module to move, the push rod 4 is fixed on the fixed frame 1, the molding platform frame 8 is fixed to the moving slider end of the Z-axis module 2, and moves up and down with the operation of the motor 3, and a through hole is left on the molding platform frame 8 to allow the push rod 4 to pass through; the molding platform 9 is fixed on the molding platform frame 8, the printed workpiece and the molding platform 9 are bonded together, the molding platform frame 8 is equipped with a guide column 5 and a guide sleeve 6, the guide column 5 is kept relatively suspended by the spring 7 and the guide sleeve 6, one end of the guide column 5 is connected and fixed to the ejector plate 10, and a through hole 2 is provided on the molding platform 9 for the ejector on the ejector plate 10 to pass through.

[0020] After printing is completed, the molding platform 9 moves upward with the Z-axis module 2. When it moves to a certain position, the ejector rod 4 passes through the through hole 1 on the platform frame and presses the ejector plate 10. The ejector on the ejector plate 10 presses the workpiece on the molding platform 9 off, completing rapid demoulding.

[0021] The guide column 5 is kept relatively suspended by the spring 7 and the guide sleeve 6. The guide rod and the guide sleeve 6 can effectively ensure that the ejector plate 10 only moves in the vertical direction during the movement without horizontal plane deviation, ensuring that the ejector can pass through the second through hole on the molding platform 9 each time without causing damage to the device. After the rapid demoulding is completed, the molding platform 9 moves downward, the ejector rod 4 and the ejector plate 10 are separated, and the elastic force of the spring 7 pushes the guide column 5 to move upward to restore to the original suspended state.

[0022] The ejector plate 10 is provided with ejectors of different heights, which has the advantage that when demoulding, the model is first subjected to point force and then gradually to surface force, the whole process requires less force, the load on the motor 3 is small, and it is more stable and reliable than demoulding the entire surface at the same time.

[0023] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of one or more embodiments of the present invention and is not intended to limit one or more embodiments of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of one or more embodiments of the present invention shall be included in the scope of protection of one or more embodiments of the present invention.
